Former Director of Special Media Projects and Operations and New Media for the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Council in the 2023 presidential election, Femi Fani-Kayode, has said that President Bola Tinubu’s administration will not take "nonsense" from the international community. According to Fani-Kayode, who is a former aviation minister, the international community looks down on Nigeria and Nigerians and treats Nigerians like filth and with contempt.
Fani-Kayode, on his Twitter handle on Thursday, said that President Tinubu "represents the new African leader that will not genuflect, shake, tremble and quiver before those leaders and nations that believe that they are superior to ours and those that share the erroneous and obnoxious view that Nigerians particularly and Africans generally are unlettered barbarians that are inferior to them." He said, "There is nothing more beautiful, powerful and inspiring than a confident, strong, educated, courageous and enlightened Nigerian who knows and appreciates the rich and noble history of his people and the great heritage that they derive from. "Under this new dispensation, we have a leadership that will brook no nonsense from those in the international community that looks down on Nigerians and that treat our people like filth and with contempt. "No matter where you are in the world, as long as you are a Nigerian, you will know that you have a strong and confident Government and a caring and bold President who will do all he can to protect you and fight for you and your interest when faced with injustice or discrimination. "That, in my view, is one of the most important things President Tinubu brings to the table. It includes honour, strength, self-respect, dignity, fortitude, resilience, faith in God and ourselves and an appreciation of who we really are and the wonderful innovations and contributions we have to offer the world."
